PhD Studentship: Understanding the Evolution of How Plants Perceive Changes in the Environment University of East Anglia in United Kingdom

Funded PhD opportunity at the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom on sporulation biology of a honey-bee pathogen . This project focuses on Paenibacillus larvae , the bacterium that causes American Foul Brood (AFB) in honeybee larvae. AFB is a serious notifiable disease in many countries, including the UK, and has major consequences for beekeeping and pollinator health. The research aims to build a deeper molecular understanding of how this spore-forming pathogen completes its life cycle ...

Funded PhD project in plant evolution , molecular palaeobotany , evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) , palaeontology , and plant biology at the University of Edinburgh . Project title: Branching Out: what fossils, ferns and genes reveal about the evolution of shoot branching architecture in plants. This interdisciplinary PhD will investigate how modern plant shoot architectures evolved, focusing on the transition from early dichotomous branching to later lateral and axillary branching ...

🌱 The James Hutton Institute is recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher in Legume Crop Physiology and Phenotyping as part of the Horizon Europe/UKRI ProFEEED project . The role is based in Invergowrie, Dundee, Scotland, United Kingdom , and focuses on identifying soybean and lupin varieties suited to current and future climates in central-northern Europe and the UK. The successful candidate will work with controlled-environment experiments at the Advanced Plant Growth Centre (APGC) , combining phys...

EASTBIO PhD opportunity at the University of Dundee in plant science, with a focus on how cereals make their skin: plant surface development, cuticle formation, epidermal cell differentiation, and stress resilience in barley. The project explores how land plants coordinate protective surface features such as the waxy cuticle, gas pores, and defensive epidermal structures. Using barley as the model system, the research will combine biochemical and molecular biology approaches with CRISPR-Cas gene...

PhD opportunity at the University of Dundee / James Hutton Institute in plant science, focusing on how plants respond to warming temperatures and how temperature controls stomata development. The project, “EASTBIO - How Plants Breathe in a Warming World: Temperature Control of Stomata Development,” is based in Dundee, United Kingdom, and is supervised by Dr Martin Balcerowicz and Dr Sarah McKim. It investigates thermomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis thaliana and explores whether similar hormonal reg...
